Bolstering the newest NASA space launch system’s testing capabilities, the agency in charge of U.S. science and technology of airplanes or space is now using Leica Nova MS50 MultiStations. The fast, precise robotic total stations with integrated laser scanning capabilities will provide accurate deflection monitoring during comprehensive structural tests.

As NASA continues to make progress on its new rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS), testing the hardware is becoming a crucial focal point at the agency’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, USA. Each structural test article must be carefully evaluated to verify its integrity and ensure it can withstand the loads it may experience during flight.

测试将在两个结构测试架之一的户外进行。66米高的钢结构称为测试架4693将用于测试液体氢气罐，而26米高的钢结构（称为测试架4697）将用于测试液体氧气罐。这些测试架将推动，拉动和弯曲SLS巨大核心阶段的坦克，使坦克和硬件在发射过程中会承受相同的负载和压力。

During the tests, multiple points on the tanks must be monitored accurately for deflections over a 48-hour period. To accomplish this task, NASA will use the MultiStations, which are precise robotic total stations with integrated laser scanning capabilities. These will be added to NASA’s existing arsenal of Nova MS50 MultiStations and Leica Viva TS15 robotic total stations all of which will be used for deflection monitoring during the comprehensive structural tests.

根据Leica Geosystems工程解决方案业务的NAFTA结构监测总监David Rutledge的说法，NASA继续投资于Leica Nova MS50的多功能性和与其他总站相比的准确性。bob apple

“Critical applications like the structural test program for the Space Launch System demand solutions that can provide high accuracy and outstanding performance,“ he said. “Comprehensive surveillance of the test article deformation throughout the testing period with both the Leica Nova MS50 and Viva TS15 instruments will provide highly accurate data that will help NASA engineers understand article performance and guide them in future rocket development. We’re excited to be able to play a role in the continued progress at Marshall Space Flight Center.”
